Probably not. Low levels of radiation would not linger for almost 60 years, and since the house was also not the source of the radiation, you should be just fine.
no!
A definition for poison is something that can be harmful, unpleasant, and fatal. Radiation can be harmful therefor radiation could be a poison.There is something called acute radiation syndrome which is also called radiation poisoning. This occurs when there is destruction of living tissue due to the effects of being exposed to high levels of radiation.
Yes, I'm in the hospital with my gradmother and she just got over food poisoning a few days before she came in here and that was one of the symptoms of her food poisoning .
Well you could eat uranium or other or radioactive waste... But as Uranium is expensive and rare, and radioactive waste is deadly, eating radiation would result in killing you. This will not give you super powers like shown in cartoons, but it will end up with you receiving radiation poisoning.
Definitely! You need to take it to the hospital right away! A needle could puncture his intestines and injure his esophagus and stomach.
You cannot smell nuclear radiation, nor detect it with any of your senses directly. However if the nuclear radiation was intense enough (several thousand REM/hour) it is possible that it might ionize the air enough to produce enough ozone that you could smell the ozone (which has a very acrid sour smell). But if it is this intense, not long after you first smelled the ozone you would have already accumulated a dose high enough to have severe radiation poisoning and you could be so sick that you could no longer stand and try to leave the irradiated area. If you did get out you would need intensive care in a well equipped modern hospital to have even a 30% chance of surviving, without hospitalization you would die in no more than a month in indescribable agony.
Right around 120 people died from food poisoning each year in Australia. It could be much worse since the number of new food poisoning cases in Australia is 11,500 per day.
Access to nuclear weapons is strictly controlled. Unless you are a member of the military, you will not get one. Attempting to make one is more likely to kill you from radiation poisoning, even if you could get the raw materials.
No
Council housing was demolished in cities like Liverpool in the 1950s and 1960s. It was public housing rented to those who could not affort to rent other housing.

According to "A Fighting Chance" you could survive off plants such as grains, beans, and legumes after nuclear fallout. Also canned foods would be alright as they are protected from radiation for the most part. As for animals that you might consider eating, they will be affected by a combination of gamma radiation inside and out, as well as the intake of irradiated food or lack of food to eat altogether. Their organs would be so saturated in radiation that you would develop radiation poisoning from consuming them.
